13 Monitoring Oracle Traffic Director Instances

Oracle Traffic Director records statistics about server activity at different levels—instances, virtual servers, listeners, connections, and origin servers. For example, for each instance of a configuration, Oracle Traffic Director collects statistics about the duration for which the instance has been running, number of requests processed, volume of data received and sent, number of responses that the instance sent of each type, average load, and so on. Similarly for each virtual server in an instance, Oracle Traffic Director collects statistics about the number of requests processed, volume of data received and sent, and the number of responses of each type.For a full list of the metrics that Oracle Traffic Director collects, see Appendix A, "Metrics Tracked by Oracle Traffic Director."
